The mom and dad and people like Manoj Bajpai came and said he was bullied by Bollywood. In hindsight considering what we learned that was all irresponsible comments being made


Worst of all was Shekhar Kapoor

I’m done with the BW celebs who r silent, how hard is it to say We hope justice takes place for SSR or something along the lines. SSR was a Bwood celeb who deserves support from ppl who can make impact with thr voices. But no they all are cowards and only want to act like heroes on screen.

Manoj Bajpai said that the well was poisoned for SSR professionally cuz of those blind items slandering him regularly. When he walked into the set to shoot for Sonchiriya, and met SSR in person, that's when he could tell that those slanderous articles were false given how SSR's demeanor was completely the opposite of what was written about him.


How is that irresponsible on Manoj Bajpai's part? It's a very plausible thing to conclude that someone was trying to sabotage his career and managed to do so significantly.

I don’t doubt Manoj’s sincerity though cuz I knew he was genuinely fond of Sushant from Sonichirya shooting days. Can’t say the same about Shekhar Kapur. Maybe they are silent cuz they learned their lesson.

You said they shouldnt have been lamenting he was depressed from the beginning . Alot of people said he was. Even some people kareeb. So were they all wrong ?

I said that to counter the point that other person made that people shouldn’t speak if they don’t know the details. Which applies all the time. Not just selectively when you have to push your agenda. People who knew him closely I think did have a right to make observations and comments, even if they end up being proved wrong. Besides, it’s obvious that false allegations and bullying can make anyone depressed.

Indian Media has fallen flat on its face as has the social media slander campaign. Almost all theories have been rebuked. I can see a change, albiet a small one. Many people who were convinced of all these conspiracy theories, are asking "Whats the source?" & " Is it verified?" now.

Things are getting better. They're right, Truth always emerges but it might not be what they've been expecting.


You know what the funny thing is though?! Many of these social justice warriors bashed and dragged Sushant when he was slandered in UNVERIFIED blinds and articles without sources. During MeToo, even after Sanjana Sanghi (the alleged victim) came out and debunked the false allegations, people rufused to believe him and continued to bash him. Then, after he died, they all are like it is not our fault that media and Bollywood tricked us. LOL. Seeing the same pattern now.

Honestly, I wish these celebs wouldn’t say much.I just think when celebs speak up it encourages fans to Just accept that, not think for themselevs. Also, what could they say in SSR case that the public already hasn’t said? I am not looking for Sara to hold a placard and say whatever the trending hashtag is.Nor, do I want their rehearsed/hypocritical opinions on politics. Give your voice to social causes, hug a tree and move on. Why is being unproblematic so unpopular.

You want a group of ass-lickers, beti-kissers and criminals to speak up for justice? How and why? 😆

They should pull resources together and record a song like this about Rhea
